March 14 is Pi Day, when folks celebrate the mathematical equation of 3.14159 etc. Pi is also the symbol used to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pizza brands are getting in on the action with steals and deals designed to entice math fans — and pizza lovers — alike.
Here are some Pi Day deals from some big and small chains alike.
Blaze Pizza is offering an 11-inch pizza with endless toppings to choose from for just $3.14 when guests download the Blaze app and join the brand's rewards program. The deal is only good on March 14.
